.Net: Bug: Does SK 1.x .NET work with Azure OpenAI beta 2?

[markjbrown]

Describe the bug
I am upgrading an existing project using SK 1.4 and Azure OpenAI .NET SDK to 2.0.0-beta.2. When I did the update, I started getting this error below. Updating to SDK 1.6 did not fix the issue. I've tried everything I can think of. Not finding a way to get this to compile.

Error (active) CS7069 Reference to type 'OpenAIClient' claims it is defined in 'Azure.AI.OpenAI', but it could not be found

Does this combination work? I cannot find any definitive answer in GH Issues. Seems odd to me that it's complaining about an OpenAI client when this is calling AddAzureOpenAIChatCompletion().

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Update an existing .NET SK project to Azure Open AI 2.0.0-beta.2
2. Compile

Screenshots
Attached to issue.

@markjbrown We are in the process of upgrading Semantic Kernel to use Azure OpenAI .NET SDK v2.0.0-beta.N and also OpenAI SDK vv2.0.0-beta.N. Here is the feature branch: https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/tree/feature-connectors-openai if you would like to see progress and also the back log is available here: Semantic Kernel (view) by looking at the OpenAI V2 SDK bucket. The changes should be available in the next couple of weeks.
